News just came in that a close friend of mine, Ty (disclord@LDDb), has died.

He's the reason I have the Runco LJR-II.

This project will be dedicated to his memory.

Fuck. :-(

Son of a...

This is really unexpected. He was easily one of the most knowledgeable Film/AV people I have ever encountered online or in person (and I've met/known a LOT, including Oscar winners)

This is what I posted over there:

This is...really unexpected and very sad. I feel as if there are already conversations about our favorite topics I will never have.

We are a very small tight knit community on here, and I cannot even count the number of times Disclord revealed valuable and very detailed information on topics that even myself as a lifelong film devotee and film school grad had no clue about. (Such as the RAIDERS mix originally being in the abandoned VistaSonic format or all the varied usages of Sensurround)
His posts were always warm and friendly and down to earth which is not always a paramount on the Internet.

He will be sorely missed and even though most of us only knew him through the lddb, will always be the Disc Lord.

Getting back to the topic at hand, I've been looking at a Canopus ADVC box (recommended by Vidiot over on SHTV) but there are various editions, I lack Firewire, and I have no idea about it having a comb filter.

I would say to do the LD PCM as it is, since we've had no copy done losslessly and the LD is very expensive/hard to come by.
